Chapter 34 Going to the Market in the City
After saying that, Su Hanzhang helped Su Banxia and pulled Wang Guihua into the courtyard.
Seeing that her son was no longer listening to her, Granny Liu was so anxious that she coughed up a mouthful of blood. Su Yunhe, who was standing nearby, rushed forward to support her and said worriedly:
"Mother, are you alright? Why are you spitting blood? Should I go and get a doctor to take a look?"
Granny Liu waved her hand.
"Why waste money like that? Mother is fine, she'll be alright after lying down for a while. You don't need to worry about her, go and cook."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunhe reluctantly went to the kitchen.
Granny Liu slowly walked into the courtyard by herself, supporting herself against the wall.
Fifth Aunt watched her retreating figure from behind, then suddenly spat.
"You disrespectful old man, go ahead and punish your second wife and her family now, let's see who will take care of you when you're old!"
Having said that, he picked up the rolling pin from the ground and slapped the dirt a few times, muttering to himself:
"unlucky!"
Then they went into their own yard.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, everyone went home.
The next day,
Knowing she was going to the market today, Su Banxia got up early to wash and groom herself. The three blood marks on her face had faded considerably after she washed them with well water from her space yesterday, and she figured they would be completely healed after a few more days of washing.
Actually, Su Banxia could have dodged when Granny Liu reached out to scratch her face yesterday, but Su Banxia thought that if she was going to put on an act, she had to go all the way. Otherwise, how could she make her parents feel sorry for her and make the neighbors condemn Granny Liu?
As it turned out, Su Banxia's choice was correct. Thus, the second wife's family explained the land division to the villagers in front of everyone. The news spread like wildfire, and even if it wasn't true, it became true.
If we really have a falling out with Granny Liu in the future, we'll have a witness. That way, Granny Liu won't be able to pull any tricks.
Right now, the house on that side of Dwarf Mountain really needs to be built quickly. If they keep staying at Old Su's house, my parents will inevitably be bullied.
Su Banxia was planning to urge Su Hanzhang to hurry up and get the house deed and land deed processed by the village head in a few days, so that she could build the house in peace and avoid Liu Pozi causing trouble again after the house was built.
"Little sister, are you dressed up so beautifully today to go to the market?"
Su Shiyan and Su Hanzhang had carried manure from the latrine to fertilize the fields before dawn, and they had just entered the house, still smelling strongly of manure.
Su Banxia pinched her nose in disgust and said:
"Brother, go change your clothes. I'll take you to the market today."
Su Shiyan picked up his clothes, smelled them, and then frowned, saying:
"It doesn't smell bad, little sister! When did you become so fussy? I'm not going to the market. We don't have any money. It takes half an hour to walk to the county town. My heels would rub from walking all that. I wouldn't be able to buy anything anyway!"
Su Banxia smiled.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll make sure you buy as much as you want today. Hurry up and change your clothes, let's go."
Su Mo, who was lying in bed, suddenly brightened up when she heard Su Banxia's words. That's right, wasn't today's market day the very day she and Su Feng secretly pledged their love in her previous life, right under that old locust tree at the market entrance?
Su Mo clearly remembered that Su Feng had used sweet words to win her over under that tree!
Thinking this, Su Mo quickly got up and dressed, then gave Su Banxia a harmless smile.
"Sister, I'm thinking of going to the market with you all today!"
Su Banxia glanced at Su Mo and said indifferently:
"Go if you want to. It's your own body, and I can't stop you."
In fact, Su Banxia is quite vengeful. Yesterday, she fought so badly with Granny Liu, and Su Mo didn't even bother to check on her.
After a while, Su Hanzhang, Wang Guihua, and Su Shiyan all came out to check on their safety, but Su Mo was the only one who stayed in the house and ate all the meat before going to bed early.
Because of this, Su Banxia felt that Su Mo's heart could never be warmed. She decided that from now on, as the older sister, she would just maintain a superficial relationship; she naturally wouldn't take such a younger sister to heart.
Seeing Su Banxia's coldness towards her, Su Mo watched her retreating figure and sneered inwardly. This way, she wouldn't feel guilty about personally delivering Su Banxia to Su Feng.
Since you look down on me now, don't even think about coming to me, the wife of a high-ranking official, to stand up for you when you are imprisoned and beaten by Su Feng in the future!
Although Su Mo didn't know who would become Su Banxia's husband in the future, she believed that if she gave Su Feng to Su Banxia and changed the fate of the three of them, then Su Banxia's original husband should rightfully be hers.
Therefore, a long time ago, Su Mo had already begun to fantasize about what it would be like to be the wife of a high-ranking official.
So when Su Banxia and Granny Liu bickered last time, Su Mo casually mentioned sending Su Mo to the county town to be a maid. Su Mo was completely unwilling, because in Su Mo's heart, she was destined to become the wife of a high-ranking official.
Thinking this, Su Mo glared fiercely at Su Banxia, then quickly washed and dressed herself before following Su Banxia and Su Shiyan to the market.
After the three arrived at the market, Su Banxia inquired around and found a place that bought animal hides. As soon as she entered the house, Su Banxia took out a well-preserved deerskin from her bundle.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up at the sight; their shop hadn't received such fine deerskin in a long time. He quickly smiled and said to Su Banxia:
"How much would you like to sell this deerskin, young lady?"
Su Banxia frowned as she looked at the deerskin in front of her and said:
"What are your prices for buying goods? If the price is right, I won't bother looking for other shops."
Seeing that Su Banxia seemed a little anxious, the shopkeeper slowly said:
“At this time of year, deerskin isn’t anything special. If I buy your hide now, I’ll have to hold onto it until winter before I can sell it. Plus, your hide is wet, so the price can’t be very high. How about I give you a fair price of fifty coins?”
Seeing this, Su Shiyan, who was standing to the side, pulled Su Banxia and started to walk outside.
“Sister, this shopkeeper is dishonest, we won’t sell to him! Before the New Year, Erzhu from our village hunted two wild rabbits in the mountains and brought them to the county to sell. He sold them for ten coins a piece of skin. Now, do you think such a big deer hide of yours is only worth fifty coins?”
Upon hearing this, Su Banxia hurriedly gathered the deerskin from the table and prepared to leave. The shopkeeper, seeing such a fine item arrive, had no intention of letting them go, so he quickly turned and ran in front of Su Shiyan, blocking his path.
"Young man, don't be in a hurry. If you feel the price is not right, we can raise it. Isn't business all about give and take?"
